Jerusalem, if I forget you,
Fire not gonna come from me tongue. Jerusalem, if I forget you, Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do. In the ancient days, we will return with no delay Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way We've been traveling from state to state And them don't understand what they say 3,000 years with no place to be And they want me to give up my milk and honey Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty Jerusalem, if I forget you, Fire not gonna come from me tongue. Jerusalem, if I forget you, Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do. Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory Years gone by, about sixty Burn in the oven in this century And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free Erase the demons out of our memory Change your name and your identity Afraid of the truth and our dark history Why is everybody always chasing we Cut off the roots of your family tree Don't you know that's not the way to be Jerusalem, if I forget you, Fire not gonna come from me tongue. Jerusalem, if I forget you, Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do. Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze Don't you know it's just a phase Case of the Simon says If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate Babylon burning in the place, can't see through the haze Chop down all of them dirty ways, That's the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth No way, not OK, oh no way, not ok, hey Ain't no one gonna break my stride Ain't no one gonna pull me down Oh no, I got to keep on moving Stay alive Jerusalem, if I forget you, Fire not gonna come from me tongue. Jerusalem, if I forget you, Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do. |

You're a warrior fighting for your soul
Taken from the world above and brought down the world below You're the son of his majesty Remember how it used to be In the light of day it's easy to see Now it's nighttime You had to leave Separated from the king Now the water's rushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream And it seems, like your not moving the many water's gushing you gasp for air Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing One day the trees will stand and clap hands Stream of thought getting caught in the klipa, this place is just a shell, external Egos swell, that one'll burn ya, we fell a long way down, that eternal frown'll get you You look vexed it's the dregs, the yetzer hara's lurking Trying to make you forget we got a job to do You're a priest and a prince and you can't be moved Chorus: You're a warrior, Fighting for your soul Taken from a world above, and brought down to a world below Re-united, re-united return the princess to the king, Re-united, re-united, she's been taken for so long Re-united, re-united and then she'll be filled with joy Re-united, re-united like the days of her youth Descended to the pit What's this feeling can't get rid of it Soul sick Can't seem to shake it When one retires at night weeping, joy will come in the morning You made my mountain stand strong Chorus Like and ancient memory Remember how it used to be Close your eyes and breath in That's the scent of freedom Ringing across the sea Land of milk and honey One day will wake up from this dream and we'll stop sleeping, Oh, yo, then we'll see clearly Chorus |

Some of them come now
Some of them are running Some of them are looking for fun Some of them are looking for a way out of confusion Some of them don't know what to be Some of them don't know where to go Some of them just got instincts that something's missing from the show Some don't fit society, Insides are crying low Some of them teachers quash the flame before it had a chance to grow Some of them embers do glow Them charcoal, hushed and low Some of them come with the hunger suppressed, not fed Them feel a death blow young man, control in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand Take a stand Fan a fire for the flame of the youth Got the freedom to choose Better make the right move Young man, the power's in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand You better make the right move focus your own energy Into a laser beam Streaming shattered light Unites to pierce Between the seams And it seems In a world open Peering, the children see Rapid fire for your mind The "truth" is just a lie They refuse them a way Then say "now why you fall behind?" some of the children disconnect without the concept This wine is spiritual Emptiness of the youth Said, no respect young man, control in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand Take a stand Fan a fire for the flame of the youth Got the freedom to choose Better make the right move Young man, the power's in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand You better make the right move Freedom to choose Better make the right move Got the freedom to chooooose young man, control in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand Take a stand Fan a fire for the flame of the youth Got the freedom to choose Better make the right move Young man, the power's in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand You better make the right move |

Daughter of Zion
Once precious princess Left her father's house To walk the streets that never rest Maybe they'll hear me in the metropolis So I'm sending out and SOS Fighting with her "ta" She wants out of this mess And those big city lights Might brighten up the darkness You know that I'm tired and you know that I'm stressed You can't stop me and you can't stop this You could call the police try to make an arrest Today is the day that repossess Leaving on the first bus that I can get Now its rings around the eyes sopping wet from rain droplets Window shopping for some solace No address and penniless Thats the price you pay from running away from the stress Feeling the pain likes the dance by the DJ Reminds me of a time when things were OK Frightened by her own shadow Now she wants to go home Many names for one God Trotting on through the facade You were all my children Got a dig for that feeling Love will break through the concealment Strip away the serpents skin We came to win Dispatch the troops Send out the captain My gem is held captive in the dungeon Don't come back again until you end the mission If it takes a long time Don't lose the vision If you're stuck Check the blueprint Look within Reflection Got to find the rhythm Won't you please return child Where you been? She says I can't come home because he won't let me in And besides we don't need no more friction Used to look so nice how'd you get so thin? With a heart of ice it's a heart of sin Skin white like a ghost with a pale complexion Pray to God for the dead we need resurrection Don't you know wherever you go thick and thin You are still my children Since you've been gone my soul's been hearting Wondering through this world We are all just boys and girls Many names for God Trotting on through the facade |

As for me, I am poor and destitute. Hashem my God will think about me. My help, my rescuer, you are. My word is like a hammer like a shattering rock, crack through your heart and take the evil apart From the end of the earth unto you I call, time and again I fall, back to you I crawl You have been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy Enemy, enemy lines I find I let myself get tied up too many times You can't have my heart I'm taking back what's mine I know it lie just smoke in your eye and you saved my soul from the other side When faint grows my heart to a rock that too hard for me to climb alone lead me For you have been a refuge With you I smash a troop and with my God I leap over a wall May the king answer you on the day that you call Stand tall, battle yawl, the clouds crawl low, all stalled, heavens lay draped over New York like a prayer shawl, the holy one enthroned upon the praises of Israel Pathways of my heart clogged like a traffic jam From the start, I want to take the blockage apart |

We're the reflection of imperfection, We come from the infinite place of limitation. Rejoice in these days, make a correction, We're the completion. Lights out, down for the count, can't get up Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck, and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut. We're not alone in the madness, if we're here, then so are you, Deepest caverns underground, we've been searching for the truth, Srape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles. The only one who'll get us out of this mess, The one who put us here. I've got a spear driven through my ear, Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear, Pistols smashing chandeliers. Long for brooks of water like the dear. [CHORUS:] A man is just a man, Filled of faults and weakness, For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless. Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness. I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless. [2x] Planting seeds, they won't sink in. I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth. Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed. From one into a million disperse. Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below. Crush my earth, seeds sow, garden start to grow. You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow. You can't keep staring out the window. Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher. Spark igniter, fighting tired Stay wired, enlighten loads. Stay alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by. Rise, to the occassion. Keep these hearts all blazin. Build your life on a river of wax. Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning, not going away. Not going away..... [CHORUS] |

Listenin' with my ears and listenin' with my eyes and Listenin' until we've ridden the mud from the parasite Listenin' until our hearts start to glisten, realize Share the vision and my rhythms and we'll melt the ice Start sizzlin', spilling from the ceiling, bread dripping drizzling Close to the broken-heart, them crushed in spirit Redeem the soul of your servant Seek his, pursue it Keep the sparkle in your eyes Oh you know, we're not gon die Like flyin' Soul times for the times when we'll stay unified The eyes of Has hem are to the righteous and he hears their [Chorus:] Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby Jerusalem breathes, bringin' me ease from the Brooklyn squeeze, Dirty boppin' and a bring ya down to ya knees Track ya like a lion, leave me be When they come with their disease to drag us into the street, My law's still pure, you can't take that from me, 3000 years until this last century, Impossible to break the seal of the High Priest, Yo, I say the branches on the trees gon bow to these Swaying to the melodies Craving for the slaves to bring redemption please I am you, you are me No more leaders, we must flea We want see God in our enemy, [Chorus] |

The place lays phased like a warrior slayed Engraved into the space with his sword still raised Layers of charcoal sprayed through hallways Praise relays off the walls echoing all ways Dirt covered earth lays beneath my rib cage Giving birth to overgrowth invading on to path ways Burnt out trees cover streets where children once played Sown seeds decay through sacred stepping stones in disarray Where the alter used to be placed inter-changed for bloodstains Sunrays illuminate the smoke filled haze Trace of incense scents of sacrifice stayed [Chorus:] Aish tamid eternally A fire burns continuously Wondering where you been Won't you come on home to me? Flash back patches of grass growing wild in fact Cracked walls burnt black like a kingdom sacked Memories like artifacts attacked yet still intact Melodies wrapped in glass and shatter with the impact Air intermingling ringing with the singing of songs once sung, hung, flung into the rafters Catastrophe struck the sound stuck Disaster plastered The aftermath a blasted building still standing, like a starved man fasting the skies expanding clouds passing, dust particles dancing, in broken bars of light, streaming from a shaft, slashed into the ceiling, Shh, you could feel the ground breathing. [Chorus] Daughter of Zion is lying crying in the mist Morning light slips in, shifting through the darkness Like a morning wife reminisce having visions of her long gone prince Memories drip rain drops tip towing emptiness Intermixed with tears like fears left unfixed Walls worn thin frozen fortress like dawn waiting for the sunrise of a day that got skipped Like a life gone wrong wandering wilderness Lovesick stripped abyss empty once luscious [Chorus] Paint the scene so you could see, the city's picking up speed On a bench 14th street, taxi's streaming yellow streaks Spears piercing through my ears, you could hear the traffic speak Jack hammers drill smacking through the cracking concrete Buildings filled with windowsills spilled tangled telephone wires Signs sparking neon lights flash like wild fire My insides rise I start to feel paralyzed Let out a sigh-a melody blew by- like an ancient war cry the way the sunlight hit the trees it really caught my eye, glistening' listening' to the breeze dancing' through the leaves, freeze, the city move's in slow motion like a dream I'm left empty like the temple turned into a fox den Bus fumes dripping spitting into city summer sun Sifting through the ash dimly lit vision listening To the hiss lifting off a nighttime ocean Shim, shim, shimmering singing hair on my skin Glim, glim. Glimmering, whispering where ya been From amidst the darkness set sail with the softness Breeze traveling across the seas arisen from with in Mt. Zion Wind coming in picking up momentum Cutting crisply through the thickness riding on a rhythm A rollercoaster sizzling, twisting down the mountain ripping rocket ship exploding like a fountain overflowing spilling through the courtyards of Jerusalem Uncovering debris lifting up the fallen arisen within to reach the yiddin even in Manhattan exposed menorah glowing in the shadows of destruction trailblazing through affliction brushing off the branches golden standing strong flames dancing like a lion roaring rising out of nothing |

It's the music that I give my blood, sweat, and tears. Not to mention some libel, Did I mention I'm liable? Then the rest of the cipher man it's not hard to decipher. Music gets people hyper, Music made me a writer. Music made me a fighter. Yo man, pass me the lighter. It's the fire that igniter shinning right in the sky. Look me right in the eye. Hey yo kid, you want to fly? The Y.O., the N.I., from M.I. to N.Y. You cannot deny so why even try. My mother sang songs in camps of concentration. His mother sang songs inside the cotton plantations. Her mother sang songs while we were robbing their nation. now I sing songs for much more than just my occupation. I'm the music. We are the music. I am the music. You are the music Austin is the music. Texas is the music. We are the mu-sic. Yo! I take two steps forward. Taking one step back. Every time I think I am on track, my life's faced the black. Now I pick the slack and attack faster than a raptor on crack. Feel my knack and just spit it. I bet there's more triplets cause rap hits vicious. My style is more delicious than eggnog. You wish this kid would vanish, soul's famished, And my spirit needs fitness, that's why I flip this. Yo! so I held back the life and blown and feeling. Alright surprisingly because I drowned last night. Here I am one more time, My rhymes are at your shine. I'm ripping over ribbons life swimming through time. Sit back in unwined, Let your brain unravel. Slip sliding away like traveling on wet gravel, Ain't no need to battle if knee P ya |

Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on Mount Zion Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway Rubbing sticks together but your fire's man-made Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine False pride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain Babylon's buildings raise like flames Drowning in their champagne Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade Soul stain blowing up In your own domain Fire crackers ohh and aah But they never maintain <i>[bridge]</i> Fires burning Flames are dancing Don't burn the house down Lord Heavenly fire only resides on an alter made from the ground <i>[chorus]</i> Fire descends on high in the shape of a lion Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on to Mount Zion <i>[repeat 2x]</i> <i>[verse 2]</i> One pair of eyes But see two different things One person cries but the other one sings You walk around like everybody owes ya something Take what you got, thank God for all that life brings The poor man has it all but not content with anything While the rich man's hands are empty but he's sitting like a king <i>[bridge]</i> <i>[verse 3]</i> Backpack's getting heavy, moving at a steady pace Carrying bricks on your shoulders and lead around your waist Making way, run in haste There is no time to taste what you ate WE should be grateful got a plateful Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain <i>[chorus]</i> |

Some of them are running Some of them are looking for fun Some of them are looking for a way out of confusion Some of them don't know what to be Some of them don't know where to go Some of them just got instincts that something's missing from the show Some don't fit society, Insides are crying low Some of them teachers quash the flame before it had a chance to grow Some of them embers do glow Them charcoal, hushed and low Some of them come with the hunger suppressed, not fed Them feel a death blow young man, control in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand Take a stand Fan a fire for the flame of the youth Got the freedom to choose Better make the right move Young man, the power's in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand You better make the right move focus your own energy Into a laser beam Streaming shattered light Unites to pierce Between the seams And it seems In a world open Peering, the children see Rapid fire for your mind The "truth" is just a lie They refuse them a way Then say "now why you fall behind?" some of the children disconnect without the concept This wine is spiritual Emptiness of the youth Said, no respect young man, control in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand Take a stand Fan a fire for the flame of the youth Got the freedom to choose Better make the right move Young man, the power's in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand You better make the right move Freedom to choose Better make the right move Got the freedom to chooooose young man, control in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand Take a stand Fan a fire for the flame of the youth Got the freedom to choose Better make the right move Young man, the power's in your hand Slam your fist on the table and make your demand You better make the right move |

The world is moving to the song I hear,
Who's that singing wind is rushing in my ear, Mind gushing memories almost lost everything, Felony and fellows running in my dream, We were in the van where the hits were driving, Saw myself In the highlands at age 13 And i'm asking questions to the present day me, Moving backwards down the hill see we were posting. [Chorus] Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sun ray make the people say Had a vision somethings missing so they're screaming out loud Keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds. I'm the arrow, you're my bow, shoot me forth and I will go And I know and I go and I go get up and go Make me feel its for real tell me what you know. I don't mean to glorify, Ate the apple of the tree and tried to lie, In the garden ill remember That's when I started to sing I said death brings life into uncertain things, Classroom's not for me Sun setting autumn breeze Sound is moving like a chorus Keep hearing that melody, Check the radio but theres nothing playing, Check the radio again but theres nothing playing. [Chorus] Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sun ray make the people say Had a vision somethings missing so they're screaming out loud Keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds. I'm the arrow, you're my bow, shoot me forth and I will go And I know and I go and I go get up and go Make me feel its for real tell me what you know. Rewind… Dub-wise! Swing low, sweet chariot of flames Change my name, No! It Was always the same, Till if only what you find when you climb, Check the radio but of all that shines theres no time, My life is making your mind work in overtime, But along the line you'll have to pay for the crime. Slow it down You turbo too soon, Vroom vroom then you want to blast off unto the moon, But you might get trapped in a temple of doom, You might get trapped in a temple of doom. [Chorus] Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sun ray make the people say Had a vision somethings missing so they're screaming out loud Keep my feet on the ground and my head in the clouds. I'm the arrow, you're my bow, shoot me forth and I will go And I know and I go and I go get up and go Make me feel its for real tell me what you know. tell me what you know |

Daughter of Zion
Once precious princess Left her father's house To walk the streets that never rest Maybe they'll hear me in the metropolis So I'm sending out and SOS Fighting with her "ta" She wants out of this mess And those big city lights Might brighten up the darkness You know that I'm tired and you know that I'm stressed You can't stop me and you can't stop this You could call the police try to make an arrest Today is the day that repossess Leaving on the first bus that I can get Now its rings around the eyes sopping wet from rain droplets Window shopping for some solace No address and penniless Thats the price you pay from running away from the stress Feeling the pain likes the dance by the DJ Reminds me of a time when things were OK Frightened by her own shadow Now she wants to go home Many names for one God Trotting on through the facade You were all my children Got a dig for that feeling Love will break through the concealment Strip away the serpents skin We came to win Dispatch the troops Send out the captain My gem is held captive in the dungeon Don't come back again until you end the mission If it takes a long time Don't lose the vision If you're stuck Check the blueprint Look within Reflection Got to find the rhythm Won't you please return child Where you been? She says I can't come home because he won't let me in And besides we don't need no more friction Used to look so nice how'd you get so thin? With a heart of ice it's a heart of sin Skin white like a ghost with a pale complexion Pray to God for the dead we need resurrection Don't you know wherever you go thick and thin You are still my children Since you've been gone my soul's been hearting Wondering through this world We are all just boys and girls Many names for God Trotting on through the facade |

Fear nobody, but His Majesty
My spirit, you retrieved For you I wait silently It seems that you believe in me Fear nobody, but His Majesty My spirit, you retrieved For you I wait silently It seems that you believe in me Indestructible digging through the rubble Bubblin' we don't need no more trouble That bahella-scope vision, hot hot fiction Like I'm running a muck upon a rhythm Stay on the plan so you don't lose the vision Stay sizzling Peter Pan I'm from a land hip like this From the city feeling it Ya breathing in, ya put on your glasses and ya see through it Fear nobody but His Majesty (Fear no one) My spirit, you retrieved For you I wait silently (His Majesty) It seems that you believe in me Fear nobody but His Majesty (Fear no one) My spirit, you retrieved For you I wait silently (His Majesty) It seems that you believe in me Some of them run-run-running like rats on a wheel Trife will find her new deal Who is their ticket for a meal? This world is real on the heels of a final generation I remember that day in November Standing on the roof and I'm feeling so tender All shook up like I've been in the blender Fend off the demons in the park after dark Lend me your hand I want to be a member Spent too much and now I'm rendered Dead mend these wounds we got to find a common thread Want to fly in the sky but you're heavy like lead Fear nobody but His Majesty (Fear no one) My spirit, you retrieved For you I wait silently (His Majesty) It seems that you believe in me Fear nobody but His Majesty (Fear no one) My spirit, you retrieved For you I wait silently (His Majesty) It seems that you believe in me Just a tool in the hands of the builder Fill them with the strength to go further Diggin' deep for eternal treasure Stay away from quicksand and false pleasure Dare not speak with arrogance Appearance like a lion lurkin' in the mist They surround and they gaze their fix Grab the rope of God's heritage Fear nobody but His Majesty (Fear no one) My spirit, you retrieved For you I wait silently (His Majesty) It seems that you believe in me Fear nobody but His Majesty (Fear no one) My spirit, you retrieved For you I wait silently (His Majesty) It seems that you believe in me Release me from their schemes My distress you will relieve Shield me on the path that's dark and slippery They seek deception and futility I stand with integrity Sneak to the roof of that building Don't want nobody here to see me To say that I'm living in a fantasy But I believe in find and keep and I plead in sincerity Won't you utterly remove the cloud hangin' over me? Won't cha wave that decree in the shade of your wings? Shelter me from the wicked who have plundered me From my mortal enemies won't cha shield me |

Jerusalem, if I forget you,
Fire not gonna come from me tongue. Jerusalem, if I forget you, Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do. In the ancient days, we will return with no delay Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way We've been traveling from state to state And them don't understand what they say 3,000 years with no place to be And they want me to give up my milk and honey Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty Jerusalem, if I forget you, Fire not gonna come from me tongue. Jerusalem, if I forget you, Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do. Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory Years gone by, about sixty Burn in the oven in this century And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free Erase the demons out of our memory Change your name and your identity Afraid of the truth and our dark history Why is everybody always chasing we Cut off the roots of your family tree Don't you know that's not the way to be Jerusalem, if I forget you, Fire not gonna come from me tongue. Jerusalem, if I forget you, Let my right hand forget what it's supposed to do. Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze Don't you know it's just a phase Case of the Simon says If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate Babylon burning in the place, can't see through the haze Chop down all of them dirty ways, That's the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth No way, not OK, oh no way, not ok, hey Ain't no one gonna break my stride Ain't no one gonna pull me down Oh no, I got to keep on moving Stay alive Jerusalem, if I forget you, Fire not gonna come from me tongue.

Slap me Daft, we sat down in the back of the class To seize knowledge we don't need, I forgot my late pass But I'm early to a arival beatbox, you got raps? Meet me on the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback No one clapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class But my flag got captured and I fell between the cracks My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap No matter how I tried, I just couldn't fill the gaps Those whipper snappers, they got trapped old chap They lost the way, they never had the right map Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back So I packed for the schddle dreamed big I wouldn't settle Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals I'll never forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels Roaming through the high land, young bucks invincible Echoes in my brain, if kids report to the principle Substance dulls the mind Traife wine clouds the heart You can't sew a stitch with one hand While you're taking it apart Bright lights might look nice But they sure won't make you sharp You can't sew a stitch with one hand While you're taking it apart Yeah, misty morning and my mum's a mess To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed Life is a test, make the grade or catch an F Now death is all that's left to ponder I wander off hoping to catch my breath Yeah, misty morning and my mum's a mess To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed Life is a test, make the grade or catch an F Now death is all that's left to ponder I wander off hoping to catch my breath And hold it, mold my memories from untold scripts And roll up in a tornado twist, now I'm certain There's a pertinent reason I'm on this earth Seasons change in white plains, but we remain alert When new school years appear, fools fear for a failure And crawl away in tears I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach We walk the halls with a grimace Yeah they gossip in groups I try to mind my business and tell the truth For instance, I listen, see it all with basketball court vision Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction We lean back in the calmest position And embrace the honesty found within our tension What's good? Substance dulls the mind Traife wine clouds the heart You can't sew a stitch with one hand While you're taking it apart Bright lights make you blind But they sure don't leave you sharp You can't sew a stitch with one hand While you're taking it apart Trapped in the elevator of your mind Is it real, what will you find behind the door Your imaginations put you in a bind Around you there's a cloud of gloom Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room Can't see outside of your Universe No more war, there won't be anymore hunger No jealousy, not even competition Let go, release, you hold the keys Time we evaporate into the breeze We are nothing, we are something Let go, release, you hold the keys It's time we evaporate into the breeze We are nothing, we'll be something Welcome to the desert of my soul You can stay if you like There's room for one more There's room for one more |

We're the reflection of imperfection, We come from the infinite place of limitation. Rejoice in these days, make a correction, We're the completion. Lights out, down for the count, can't get up Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck, and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut. We're not alone in the madness, if we're here, then so are you, Deepest caverns underground, we've been searching for the truth, Srape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles. The only one who'll get us out of this mess, The one who put us here. I've got a spear driven through my ear, Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear, Pistols smashing chandeliers. Long for brooks of water like the dear. [CHORUS:] A man is just a man, Filled of faults and weakness, For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless. Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness. I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless. [2x] Planting seeds, they won't sink in. I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth. Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed. From one into a million disperse. Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below. Crush my earth, seeds sow, garden start to grow. You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow. You can't keep staring out the window. Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher. Spark igniter, fighting tired Stay wired, enlighten loads. Stay alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by. Rise, to the occassion. Keep these hearts all blazin. Build your life on a river of wax. Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning, not going away. Not going away..... [CHORUS] |

That would only bring me down Burn away my brain no way my brain is to compound Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drown Thunder! Let the blessings come down Strip away the layers and reveal your soul Got to give yourself up and then you become whole You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low You want G-d but you can't deflate your ego If you're already there then there's nowhere to go If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope You're looking for help from G-d you say he couldn't be found Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground Like a King without his Crown Yes, you keep fallin' down You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground Given up your pride and the you heard a sound Out of night comes day and out of day comes light Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray, Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze [Chorus] Reelin' him in Where ya been Where ya been Where ya been for so long It's hard to stay strong been livin' in galus (exile) for 2000 years strong Where ya been for so long Been livin in this exhile for too long |

My love will rip a hole in the ceiling Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being Sing to my G-d all these songs of love and healing Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing You're all that I have and you're all that I need Each and every day I pray to get to know you please I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty Without you there's no me You're the air that I breathe Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe I'll stand on my own two feet Won't be brought down on one knee Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights Crown Heights burnin' up all through till twilight Said, thank you to my G-d, now I finally got it right And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might [Chorus] [Bridge:] Me no want no sinsemilla. That would only bring me down Burn away my brain no way my brain is to compound Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drown Thunder! Let the blessings come down Strip away the layers and reveal your soul Got to give yourself up and then you become whole You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low You want G-d but you can't deflate your ego If you're already there then there's nowhere to go If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope You're looking for help from G-d you say he couldn't be found Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground Like a King without his Crown Yes, you keep fallin' down You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground Given up your pride and the you heard a sound Out of night comes day and out of day comes light Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray, Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze [Chorus] Reelin' him in Where ya been Where ya been Where ya been for so long It's hard to stay strong been livin' in galus (exile) for 2000 years strong Where ya been for so long Been livin in this exhile for too long |

(Loose English translation)
A scream and a cry and a yell. A father in the forest searching for his children. Children, children where have you gone to. Because of me you have forgotten. Children, children come home to me. Because I am lonely to be sitting all alone. Father, Father we cannot come home. Because there is a guard standing by the door |

The place lays phased like a warrior slayed Engraved into the space with his sword still raised Layers of charcoal sprayed through hallways Praise relays off the walls echoing all ways Dirt covered earth lays beneath my rib cage Giving birth to overgrowth invading on to path ways Burnt out trees cover streets where children once played Sown seeds decay through sacred stepping stones in disarray Where the alter used to be placed inter-changed for bloodstains Sunrays illuminate the smoke filled haze Trace of incense scents of sacrifice stayed [Chorus:] Aish tamid eternally A fire burns continuously Wondering where you been Won't you come on home to me? Flash back patches of grass growing wild in fact Cracked walls burnt black like a kingdom sacked Memories like artifacts attacked yet still intact Melodies wrapped in glass and shatter with the impact Air intermingling ringing with the singing of songs once sung, hung, flung into the rafters Catastrophe struck the sound stuck Disaster plastered The aftermath a blasted building still standing, like a starved man fasting the skies expanding clouds passing, dust particles dancing, in broken bars of light, streaming from a shaft, slashed into the ceiling, Shh, you could feel the ground breathing. [Chorus] Daughter of Zion is lying crying in the mist Morning light slips in, shifting through the darkness Like a morning wife reminisce having visions of her long gone prince Memories drip rain drops tip towing emptiness Intermixed with tears like fears left unfixed Walls worn thin frozen fortress like dawn waiting for the sunrise of a day that got skipped Like a life gone wrong wandering wilderness Lovesick stripped abyss empty once luscious [Chorus] Paint the scene so you could see, the city's picking up speed On a bench 14th street, taxi's streaming yellow streaks Spears piercing through my ears, you could hear the traffic speak Jack hammers drill smacking through the cracking concrete Buildings filled with windowsills spilled tangled telephone wires Signs sparking neon lights flash like wild fire My insides rise I start to feel paralyzed Let out a sigh-a melody blew by- like an ancient war cry the way the sunlight hit the trees it really caught my eye, glistening' listening' to the breeze dancing' through the leaves, freeze, the city move's in slow motion like a dream I'm left empty like the temple turned into a fox den Bus fumes dripping spitting into city summer sun Sifting through the ash dimly lit vision listening To the hiss lifting off a nighttime ocean Shim, shim, shimmering singing hair on my skin Glim, glim. Glimmering, whispering where ya been From amidst the darkness set sail with the softness Breeze traveling across the seas arisen from with in Mt. Zion Wind coming in picking up momentum Cutting crisply through the thickness riding on a rhythm A rollercoaster sizzling, twisting down the mountain ripping rocket ship exploding like a fountain overflowing spilling through the courtyards of Jerusalem Uncovering debris lifting up the fallen arisen within to reach the yiddin even in Manhattan exposed menorah glowing in the shadows of destruction trailblazing through affliction brushing off the branches golden standing strong flames dancing like a lion roaring rising out of nothing |

Dream awake, make no mistake
Strive to be alive most everyday You can listen stereo or monotone Mega phone, mellow drone DJ with delay Relay super surfer high stereo sound Radio station super space nation fight the foe This one's about to blow up I'm two flus over the kookoo's nest and won't rest Bless up with no vest with a shield to protect Smash lies, wake up, stand up and jump off to this wake up, stand up and jump off to this wake up, stand up and jump off to this wake up, stand up and jump off to this Some piece of mind from the daily grind Find lines to move guys rely on a vision Filled with rhymes, the room is filled with villains and ghost We toast and coast to the next host Many boast of battles won and the day is fading fast The work is passed through the self destruction Why you wanna burn, why you wanna drown? Why you wanna die by the highway? The front lines intertwine We'll bounce over beats and rock shows So fast so slow never know where the day may go Bounce and we bubble over hills and valleys We go through the fields of green in between destinies Or just get high, nah there's no need No need to feed on the scraps of the enemy Where's the bad guy on the inside one day I might try |

I told her you must go you can't stay here She said, "I know since the death blow My soul's been old like sand, I'm so tired It's like my spirit expired" Remember when I was just a child yeah Now I feel like a star at daybreak 'Bout to expire and get lost in the sun Me and you we got to leave and just run and run Don't wait for me while I'm down 'Cause I might not get up All I have is right now Gonna give you what I got You are the only good thing that I have ever done We will walk until my blood runs out Until my heart is burnt you are not alone You are the only good thing that I have ever done (Run, yeah, run, yeah, running away, come we stun you here to stay) (Up and down so look both ways trying to live most everyday) (If you don't well that's okay, bound to the one and will not sway) We will walk until my blood runs out (Found again his majesty record power radio play) (Climb and climb to outer space, give and take, it's time to taste) (Make the best, don't leave no waste) Until my heart is burnt you are not alone (World moves fast, don't lose your place) (Wanna build tall, gotta have a strong base) (And play like kids and meditate) He sits on top of a mountain Pumping blood through the veins of creation Land and sky, he aches for her But can't find his way, can't live no more And I ache for her but can't find my way I can't live no more, she is not alone Just before the light goes away comes a child That collects all the reasons To be the laughs, the smiles, moments of clarity Exchanging them for another day Exchanging them for another day And so my heart continues to say You are the only good thing that I have ever done We will walk until my blood runs out Until my heart is burnt you are not alone You are the only good thing that I have ever done (Here we go, it's you and me, gotta let go, gotta believe) (Rip through negativity, find some place where we can be) (Oh, I agree inevitably we can't stay here, it's time to leave) We will walk until my blood runs out Until my heart is burnt you are not alone (Slip and slide the day has come) (Undone, bottoms up don't be a crumb, undumb) (Children dance sing and drum, lighten up, don't weigh a ton) You are the only good thing that I have ever done (She said, "We got to go, we can't stay here") (I said," I know but got no place to go) (The nights are cold and we need a place to be") We will walk until my blood runs out Until my heart is burnt you are not alone (Remember when I was just a child yeah) (Now I feel like a star at daybreak 'bout to expire) (And get lost in the sun) (Me and you we gotta leave and just run and run) You are the only good thing that I have ever done (Run and run, run and run away) (We can't stay, we can't stay) We will walk until my blood runs out Until my heart is burnt (Run and run, run and run)

Sometimes I lay
Under the moon And thank God I'm breathing Then I pray Don't take me soon Cause I'm here for a reason Sometimes in my tears I drown But I never let it get me down So when negativity surrounds I know some day it'll all turn around Because All my life I've been waiting for I've been praying for For the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more They'll be no more war And our children will play One day One day One day One day One day One day It's not about Win or lose Because we all lose When they feed on the souls of the innocent Blood drenched pavement Keep on moving, though the waters stay raging In this maze you can lose your way (your way) It might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way) Sometimes in my tears I drown (I drown) But I never let it get me down (get me down) So my negativity surrounds (surrounds) I know some day it'll all turn around Because All my life I've been waiting for I've been praying for For the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more They'll be no more war And our children will play One day One day One day One day One day One day One day this all will change Treat people the same Stop with the violence Down with the hate One day we'll all be free And proud to be Under the same sun Singing songs of freedom like One day One day One day One day One day One day All my life I've been waiting for I've been praying for For the people to say That we don't wanna fight no more They'll be no more wars And our children will play One day One day One day One day One day One day |

Running from the park
Sleeping out in the rain From falling down the drain Feeling drained from the main Mutilated disease disaster deficient and dead Raging waves with no name Raining pain distorted face Placing blame Hyper-judging all the time Lost my mind on the train Running from the insane Children taught to blow their brains out in the holy name Running for fame where everybody knows your name Running the same vein empty shatters splattered nothing matters anyway Running for something to say Looking for meaning the speech Running from a fray It's the great escape Got to sneak away When they look away we'll just fade away Carry me in your memory If I should pass away before the break of day Like the light life happy clouds fluff Hazy rice sunny days puff fly a kite afraid to face the night What if I can't make it right The sword cuts both ways Night and day Joy that goes away Things seem to sway Nothing stays the same Even in this madness we will survive Even in this madness we will survive It's the great escape Got to sneak away When they look away we'll just fade away Carry me in your memory If I should pass away before the break of day Running through the forest and I'm running through the woods Running my whole life running like I should Running for survival Running from the rifle Running for the Bible blood libels and false idols Craziness inside me Afraid to pick through the bushes and see Closed off bogged down reality Bind barbed wire with no key Running Running It's the great escape Got to sneak away When they look away we'll just fade away Carry me in your memory If I should pass away before the break of day |

And in these days Remember my ways Oh will I get out of my cage? Yes I am a slave Searching for some freedom Searching for some freedom So intend to sing them Songs to spark, memories What is a man with no history? Where am I ? Who am I ? What is this place?, We're just spinning in space I will be light I will be light I will be light I will be light Time will continue without you So in the end Its not about you But, What did you do? Who do you love besides you Beside you, many died in the name of vanity Many die,in their mind's eye, for justice We die for you And still do So I say to you This is nothing new I will be light I will be light I will be light I will be light Its/In one tiny moment in time For life to shine, to shine Burn away the darkness You've got one tiny moment in time For life to shine, to shine To burn away the darkness <i>[x5]</i> ..one tiny moment in time..

Undo the clasps, cast the shackles to the sea
They flee from themselves and they can't understand They burn humanity in their search to be free But freedom's not for sale When you run for the moonlight To dance on a ray and become What you knew to be true but the time flew by You been searching for a reason why And I, I will be there for you To search for you wherever you are And I, I will be there for you To look for you wherever you go When you dance in the drizzle fizzle out Fist out, blissed out, shout it loud Through the clouds, oh and rock out I can't stop now 'cause I move like the breeze With ease and grace we stay laced As we move through the space dancing on a blade Of grass at twilight a firefly fly free through the night I shine bright from the ground to the sky And I, I will be there for you To search for you wherever you are And I, I will be there for you To look for you wherever you go On and on we go as the world turns the world burns Come from Mount Zion and stay out of the whirlwind Move to the music 'cause the world don't sit still in silence We climb through blindness And I, I will be there for you To search for you wherever you are And I, I will be there for you To look for you wherever you go |

Ahh There is a place in the bottom of the soul, It's no bread of restitution Hearts splash fly like dough Where there is no pollution You would know words to hold Folks question your solutions Bedrock of a river that flowed No times, present or future We are men of nature We are made from the earth At the end of my eighty, I'll return to the dirt Just sand, just rock, dry land, fast and silent Only bein' only breathin' We're just children of believers Type, fire and water be strong with compassion In the morning we're born everlasting Like the grass by the sea And in with the wind which knocks ya down time and again We remain and sing Stand until the dawn of day carries us away As we sway through the phases of each generation We leave our trace and then leave this station Fierce fronts, fantasy phased No blame, untamed or spoken Shiggy walks through this space On dry land that's cracked and broken We came to taste the rain We're just, widows and orphans Not afraid to feel the pain Or to leave behind our notions Bathe in showers, taste the tension, Hear the howl, climb the mountain, Kiss the cold and heal the frozen Read the dreams in this here dungeon We are men of nature We are made from the earth At the end of my eighty, I'll return to the dirt Just sand, just rock, dry land, fast and silent Only bein' only breathin' We're just children of believers There is fire in these leaves and therefore naturally, I'm not afraid to face these seasons 'Cuz, times change and there's no one to blame Even when the day is leavin' Will you rise like a lion in the morning sun Or will ya, just lay there bleedin' When the time has come, return to the kingdom Close my eyes and be screamin "freedom" Freedom, freedom Freedom, freedom Freedom, freedom We are men of nature We are made from freedom the earth At the end of my eighty, I'll return to the dirt Just sand, just rock, dry land, fast and silent Only bein' only breathin' We're just children of believers We are men of nature We are made from the earth At the end of my eighty, I'll return to the dirt Just sand, just rock, dry land, fast and silent Only bein' only breathin' We're just children of believers Children of believers |

Fire been burning out of control And burning keep the hearts all yearning And the heads them keep on turning I dig in, I dig in and sinking my teeth in Spit fire 'cause I'm the last dragon Knock, knock them down sizzling with a vision New York City to Jerusalem Concrete jungle burn down Babylon 'Cause a simple man am I With my chest up to the sky When I walk by, my talk rides high like the wind rewind I'll be by your side when nighttime it runs on And the children they ride high I'll be standing on the sun Burn into the light, burn into the sun Find these lines that climb from inside The dream in between, the words you might Hear me slur as the vision it blurs And the sun sets you don't know who to follow And the path that they passed seems shallow You never know where you might go But the seed that you plant is the seed that you sew And rain down at midnight I ride my bike King with my broken crown Brooklyn Bridge to Crown Heights |

Yih'yu l'ratzon imrei fi V'hegyon libi l'fanecha, adonai tzuri <i>[translation: "Let it be your will that my words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart come before you, God my rock my redeemer"]</i> I will crush my fantasy, bring me olive oil crushed for his majesty to shine a warmth into eternity, this is an eternal decree, We'll dance like flames for there's no gravity, for now I'm just a candle trying to stay lit in this windy night. Got to crush my fantasies of how this life is supposed to be Bring my broken heart to an invisible king with a hope one day you might answer me, so I pray don't you abandon me. Your silence kills me; I wouldn't have it any other way. Is it wrong to think you might speak to me? You might speak, would it be words and what would you say? It's so heavy a heavy price to pay Your silence. |
